Verse:
Cm D#
In the dark, and right on the middle mark
G#
Just in the tear of everything
Cm
that rides below the surface
Cm D#
In the watch from a distant seventeen
G# Cm
Surely otherʼs dreams of being golden and on top
Cm D#
Itʼs not, you should paint it in my head
D#
Thereʼs so much much there
G# A#
instead of all the colors that I saw
Chorus:
Cm D#
We all are living in a dream
G#
But life ainʼt what it seems
Cm
Oh, everythingʼs a mess
Cm D#
And all these sorrows I have seen
G#
They lead me to believe
Cm
That everythingʼs a mess
Cm
But I want to dream
D#
I want to dream
G# Cm
Leave me to dream
Verse:
Cm D#
In the eyes of a teenage crystallized
G#
Or the prettiest of lights
Cm
That hang the hallways of the home
Cm D#
And the cries from the strangers out at night
G#
They donʼt keep us up at night
A#
We have the curtains drawn and closed
Chorus:
Cm D#
We all are living in a dream
G#
But life ainʼt what it seems
Cm
Oh, everythingʼs a mess
Cm D#
And all these sorrows I have seen
G#
They lead me to believe
Cm
That everythingʼs a mess
Cm
But I want to dream
D#
I want to dream
G# Cm
Leave me to dream
Cm D# G# Cm
Bridge:
Cm D#
I know all your reasons
G# Cm
To keep me from seeing, everything is actually a mess
Cm D#
But now I am leaving
G# Cm
Unless weʼre only dreaming, everything is actually a mess
Chorus:
Cm D#
We all are living in a dream
G#
But life ainʼt what it seems
Cm
Oh, everythingʼs a mess
Cm D#
And all these sorrows I have seen
G#
They lead me to believe
Cm
That everythingʼs a mess
Cm
But I want to dream
D#
I want to dream
G# Cm
Leave me to dream
